A thermo-elastic model for calculation of the residual stresses is proposed and
experimentally validated. Residual stresses depend on the shape of the remelted domain …

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium
orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists …

In the late 1960's, a strong interest was raised in biomedical applications of ceramic
materials (named bioceramics a little bit later). Bioceramics was initially used as reasonable …

Bone is a unique organ composed of mineralized hard tissue, unlike any other body part.
The unique manner in which bone can constantly undergo self-remodeling has created …

Present commercial titanium alloy implants have an elastic modulus higher than 100 GPa,
whereas that of the cortical bone is much smaller (17–28 GPa). This elastic modulus …
